Hiro Seiko coloured stainless steel screws

[Shaun 'TheSheep' Atkinson]

Hiro Seiko have introduced a new series of stainless steel screws to their large existing product line. A first in the R/C industry, these colored steel crews are denser than a normal alloy screw, but also heavier so not only will it look great but it will provide more strength to areas that need it. Available in t-blue, red, purple and smoke-black in sizes M3×6, M3×8, M3×10, M3×12, M3×14, M3×16, M3×18 & M3×20 they come in countersunk or done head versions, both with hex drive.

These are already on the way to us in our current shipemnt and should be here in the next 7 - 10 days. They will be available through any of our X-Factory UK dealers when they arrive and available to pre-order now......

[Shaun 'TheSheep' Atkinson]

Are these going to have to be ordered individually then or will you be making some kits up for specific cars etc? ...

[Darren Boyle]

To start with they will be just the individual sizes in packets.

They come in a choice of four colours (Tamiya Light Blue, Red, Purple and Black), they are available in M3 Button Head or M3 Countersunk Flat Head and come in the following sizes - 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm and 20mm. Each screw has a 2mm allen driver head, so one driver can potentially build a whole car with these.

Bare in mind also these are made of steel and not the less durable sluminium as usually seen on coloured screws.

Now the best bit, they are packed in bags of 6 and the UK RRP is just £2.19 per packet!! The cheapest "cool" looking bling money can buy.....

Hiro Seiho will be monitoring how succesful they are and looking at doing complete car screw sets possibly in the future

Hiro Seiko also have coming at the same time some alloy anodiesed spacer sets for ballstuds and general spacing etc. They will be coming in a choice of seven colours (Red, Titanium, Tamiya Light Blue, Yokomo Dark Blue, Purple, Black and Orange), each pack will have three sizes of spacer (2 of each) and there will be three packets to choose from - 1. 0.5mm/0.75mm/1.0mm, 2. 1.5mm/2.0mm/2.5mm, 3. 3.0mm/4.0mm/5.0mm.

The spacers will be here at the same time as the coloured screws (next week some time) and these have an RRP of just £1.99 per packet too

All of the Hiro Seiko range is available through any of the X-Factory UK dealers shown on our website - www.xfactoryrc.co.uk

Any news on these yet, as in part numbers, do we just use part numbers from Hiro Seiko website as X-Factory website does not list them.

Also will you be stocking the M2 & M3 nuts ?

Cheers

Hi John,

The existing parts such as the M2/3/4 nuts, washers etc are all in stock already and available through any of our dealers, the new coloured screws and washer sets arrived with us yesterday and mail shots will be going out early next week.

The FULL Hiro Seiko range will make its way on to our website in the next week to ten days hopefully to be viewed with thr UK RRP prices, which are all very reasonable......
